Many of You probably want to know how spying works. Me to - up till friday I was lost as many of You. So I am going to give You few very good examples how it works. Remmember that when someone fails in spying You - he loses 20% of his spies but if he succeds - we don't get any info about this.
Similiar - when we counter - we risk losing 20% of our spies if we fail but if we succed - the atacker spies return home in full numbers. (so we just repel them).

Summary of this topic:
1. When we have 1k spyies in defence and same level of borders as spying level of atacker:
a) 200 enemy spies have 45-60% chance of succesfull spying us.
b) 500 enemy spies have 75-90% chance of succesfull spying us.
c) 1000 enemy spies have 85-100% chance of succesfull spying us.
d) 2000 enemy spies have 90-100% chance of succesfull spying us.
e) 5000 enemy spies have 95-100% chance of succesfull spying us.

2. Similiar situation (1k spyies in defence) but when we have 1 lvl less borders then spying lvl of atacker:
a) 200 enemy spies have 70-85% chance of succesfull spying us
b) 500 enemy spies have 85-100% chance of succesfull spying us
c) 1000 enemy spies have 90-100% chance of succesfull spying us
d) 2000 enemy spies have 95-100% chance of succesfull spying us
e) 5000 enemy spies have 95-100% chance of succesfull spying us

How counter spying works?

3. When we have 1k spyies in defence and same level of borders as spying level of atacker:
a) chance of catching enemy 200 spies is 100%
b) chance of catching enemy 500 spies is 100%
c) chance of catching enemy 1000 spies is 75-90%
d) chance of catching enemy 2000 spies is 35-50%
e) chance of catching enemy 5000 spies is 10-25%

4. Similiar but now we have 1 lvl less borders then enemy:
a) chance of catching enemy 200 spies is 100%
b) chance of catching enemy 500 spies is 75-90%
c) chance of catching enemy 1000 spies is 35-50%
d) chance of catching enemy 2000 spies is 15-30%
e) chance of catching enemy 5000 spies is 0-10%

Warning: In each case the value is precise. I give estimations to prevent working out exact rule since I was asked not to give away the formula - so therefore on above estimations You can't work out proper stochastic model. *pardon* The value in each case can be margin or can be around middle. So You can't be sure which is which. *gamer* This is only to give You generall idea how it works and what is better to do - build spies or invest in next lvl of borders/spying.

I hope it helps all of You as much as it helps me. *rose*

Use logic - the above examples are good enough to work out a generall rule. This should be enough to know what is better - to have more spies or more borders/spying level then the other player. *ok*

exactly, but everyone knew that already, so those stats only confuse, unless you actually use them to create an equation that explains it *pardon*

herz they did'nt know already is a useful example to use. The whole game is based on equations and can be very confusing this is simple stats that make it easy to work out. Good work starblade. *bravo*

omg are you serious? you need 5 times as many just to ensure you make a successful espionage/counter?
Sorry but thats rediculous. To be honest i prefer the older versions of +1 +2 border posts.

Its a real pain to lose spys all the time. It costs a hell of a lot for a very small amount of information. espeacially when your profits drop to 50% just because you lose spies making that final check.

In defence, how many levels above the espinage level I need in counterespinage, to have 90% or more chance to catch the attacker's spies before they send any information? (with similar count of attacking and defending spies)
If i got lvl 20 counter and the attacker have 15 espinage, we both have 10k spies, do i have like 90% chance of catching them?

Nope, with these levels and equal number of spies, you will have 60% to catch him and he will have 40% to infiltrate.

its ok if you put all this, but its a meaningless effort, because the game definitely broken.

same level espionage at 21, i have in def 10k spies and the infiltrator has 3.9k spies, but i lost 7k spies from trying to catch the infiltrators. and i never catch any of his spies when he infils either.

its a little wonder why this game never ever get into the top lists of must to play game.
